Thoughts on the game Chiefs 45 Redskins 10

2

The GOOD:

Just about everything. Offense, Defense, and Special teams all pitched in and the sum of these 3 parts equaled the Chiefs best overall performance of the year.

The mental toughness displayed by the Chiefs team to ignore the elements & go out and play football and this cannot be understated. Especially, Alex Smith, as he had nowhere near the struggles with the inclement weather that RGIII did. Alex played as though it was perfect weather & I'm betting money that if Manning and the Donkeys have to play in snowy weather, they won't be able to hack it.

Knile Davis getting his 1st rushing TD on a brilliant piece of running. Many considered the selection of Davis to be a draft day whiff, but it might be a Home Run in the not-too-distant future.

O-Line play was good and Stephenson & Fisher both did a good job against Orakpo and Kerrigan. No sacks given up or any penalties committed by either and the future looks promising with these two young athletic Tackles. Granted, there might be struggles in upcoming games, but to me, both are worth taking the time to develop and let them go through the growing pains to get valuable experience.

After a month long dry spell, the opposing QB was once again having to deal with fierce pressure & went down 6 times. Granted, the Skins O-Line isn't that good, but ask yourself an honest question -- is the Donkeys O-Line really THAT much better or do they simply get away with holding a lot more often just for Manning's sake?

Kick returns. The Chiefs just ripped the Skin's guts out in this area. No two ways about it.

Defense pitched a 2nd half shutout.

The BAD:

Chase Daniel. I predict in 2014, he won't be the #2 QB. Bray should pass him by.

The UGLY:

Not much outside of Daniel and Cooper getting the wind knocked out of him.

not gonna brag (oh yes I am) been saying DeVito was more to this defense and to TAMBA Hali than everyone gave home credit for. He comes back after 3 WEEKS injury and the defense comes alive again with QB pressure all day! A healthy Tyson Jackson helped hugely as well. The chiefs defense got injured which could be a good thing long term. It forced the offense to step up and compete and now we have a more balanced team because of it. If the media doesn't see that the chiefs are a team that shouldn't be taken lightly they are dead wrong!

DeVito's value was no doubt underestimated by a lot of us, until he wasn't there. Opponents really have a tough time moving him off the LOS and DeVito more often than not will defeat single blockers. We all know now the value of the starting three of DeVito, Jackson, and Poe.

And yes, it's good to see the Offense making strides and improving. Jamaal is healthy, the O-Line is better than any we've seen since Roaf and Shields retired and they have depth. The TE position is serviceable as long as Fasano and McGrath stay healthy. The WR group just simply needs to be more consistent about getting open and hanging on to the football. Overall, the Chiefs do have a capable Offense and it's just a matter of execution.

I listened to the live audio broadcast of the game & you can rest assured that Mitch and Lenny were enjoying the barrage of Chiefs points that were going up on that scoreboard. I think they were just as surprised as many of were, considering the elements, but just as delighted.

I did see the empty stadium starting at the beginning of the 2nd half & I don't believe I've ever seen the Skins stadium that empty in over 4 decades.
